Quick Review

Exclusively sold at MMAwarehouse.com, the Hypnotik Bearimbolo gi is a cheeky little kimono that is built to last with it’s 50/50 blend of organically grown bamboo and cotton mixture 620 GSM single weave jacket and two pairs of heavy duty 12 oz drill cotton pants. The playful embroidered logos are done exceptionally well and have shown no signs of fraying during the three or four months we’ve had this gi and all reinforcements are holding up strong through many, many machine wash and dries.

Even though the gi has been machine dried, it has only shrank about one inch all around so the sizing chart you will see from Hypnotik is fairly accurate and true to size. With the gi being around 5 lbs, I thought it would be hotter than the gis we’re used to but this was not the case. The Bearimbolo gi breathes quite well and isn’t restrictive in movement.

As far as construction goes, we only ran into one small hiccup and that was with the pant loops fraying a tad, but with a quick singe of a lighter it was resolved rather quickly and effortlessly. The silky smooth taping is folded over with perfection and is almost as soft as the jacket itself, which is a huge plus as some taping is disgustingly scratchy and annoying.

All in all, for $169 you get a fantastically made gi that comes with a ridiculously soft bamboo blend top and TWO sets of pants. And if you hurry you can get a bearimbolo rash guard thrown in there as well as long as supplies last.

If you dig it, then by all means please don’t hesitate in purchasing this gi. If it’s not your bag, then be sure to pass it along to someone who you think might want this charismatic kimono.
